In my view, when Moses wrote Deuteronomy, that changed the Hebrews' view from polytheism (2 or more Gods -- Elohim and JHVH) to monotheism (JHVH only).I have a question.

It's a really good question that modern Jews have no idea about nor answer for.

The notion of divinity underwent radical changes in the early period of Israelite identity. The ambiguity of the term elohim is the result of such changes, cast in terms of "vertical translatability", i.e. the re-interpretation of the gods of the earliest recalled period as the national god of monolatrism as it emerged in the 7th to 6th century BCE in the Kingdom of Judah and during the Babylonian captivity, and further in terms of monotheism by the emergence of Rabbinical Judaism in the 2nd century CE.[1]I never heard the term monolatrism before but I think it accurately reflects my interpretation of early Judaism. I wonder if it was Christianity that pushed Jews to monotheism.
They may have had many names and titles for God but Christians developed the Holy Trinity only centuries after Christianity took initially took root.Original Christianity is NOT monotheistic.
In original Christianity there is God The Father (Theos Patyr in the original Greek), the Son of God (Yios Theoy), and the Holy Spirit (Pneuma Agia).
So the Jews could NOT have gotten monotheism from the Christians. That would have to be an anachronism.

Judaism is actually equally as satanic as Islam. The difference is Judaism is more racist. Middle east cults are the biggest hoax ever committed on Western man.
It was the Christians themselves that adapted their religion to appeal to pagans:No, the Romans usurped Christianity and made fundamental changes in belief and practice that reflected a plethora of preexisting pagan beliefs and practices.They may have had many names and titles for God but Christians developed the Holy Trinity only centuries after Christianity took initially took root.Original Christianity is NOT monotheistic.

There was no such thing as a Jewish mangod or an edible trinity before 325 c.e. but there were already seven sacraments and the centuries old practice of partaking in the divine nature of Mithras by eating consecrated bread.
By the time any of that happened anyone who held the keys to the secrets of the kingdom of Heaven had already been slaughtered a very long time ago.It was the Christians themselves that adapted their religion to appeal to pagans:No, the Romans usurped Christianity and made fundamental changes in belief and practice that reflected a plethora of preexisting pagan beliefs and practices.They may have had many names and titles for God but Christians developed the Holy Trinity only centuries after Christianity took initially took root.Original Christianity is NOT monotheistic.

- Removing the need to become a Jew (no circumcision)
- Reinterpreting the Jewish Bible to prophesy the coming of Jesus
- Re-imagining the Jewish messiah as Jesus-like
- Arbitrarily putting Jesus' birthday at the time of the winter solstice
- Making Jesus a god with virgin birth stories, miracles, and resurrection

Nope.Judaism was never an adherent to polytheism.

I managed to learn something today. Always a good day when that happens. I misspoke when I said early Judaism was polytheistic. I had never heard the term monolatrism before but I now think it accurately reflects my interpretation of early Judaism. Early Judaism, IMHO, accepted that there many gods but only one of those established a covenant with the Jews. He was a jealous god when it came to other gods.
In the pagan world, gods were local. They might take care of a single city or nation. If they were powerful the city/nation did well. If the people were promised protection but didn't get it? Cognitive dissonance. Once repeatedly conquered, the Jews changed their covenant to be, not between their god and the people but between their god and each individual person.
No. Scripture that was an oral history for millennium so trusting its accuracy to be 100% is not reasonable. The oldest fragment of the Bible we have today is only about 2,000 years old. If they were not written until well after the events take place they may well have been edited to conform to the theology of the day.Define early Judaism using Scripture.
If there is only one God why does he need a name?While Nimrod was a warrior in God's face, Avraham was calling out to people in God's name.
What is God's name?

Feel free to correct me but I think a very early Jewish vow is that they will no other gods before Him. Sounds like a covenant between a people and one of a number of gods. When the Jews were waiting for Mosses they made a Golden Calf. The belief in other gods must have existed, otherwise when they turned from the one God they would have become atheists.
